Displays status and connection information for the ports of the FortiAnalyzer unit. It also enables you to shutdown and restart the FortiAnalyzer unit or reformat a hard disk. For more information, see Unit Operation widget.

Unit Operation

Graphically displays the status of each port. The port name indicates its status by its color. Green indicates the port is connected. Grey indicates there is no connection.

Hover the cursor over the ports to view a pop-up that displays the full name of the interface, the IP address and netmask, the link status, the speed of the interface, and the amounts of sent and received data.

CLI Console

Opens a terminal window that enables you to configure the FortiAnalyzer unit using CLI commands directly from the GUI. For more information, see CLI Console widget.

CLI Console

Opens a terminal window that enables you to configure the FortiAnalyzer unit using CLI commands directly from the GUI, without making a separate Telnet, SSH, or local console connection to access the CLI.

When using the widget, you are logged in with the same administrator account that you used to access the GUI. You can enter commands by typing them, or you can copy and paste commands into or out of the console.

Click Detach in the widget toolbar to open the widget in a separate window.

Displays log-based alert messages for both the FortiAnalyzer unit and connected devices. For more information, see Alert Messages Console widget.

To view a complete list of alert messages, click Show More from the widget toolbar. The widget will show the complete list of alerts. To clear the list, click Delete All Messages. Click Show Less to return to the regular view.

Log Receive Monitor

Displays a real-time monitor of logs received. You can view data per device or per log type. For more information, see Log Receive Monitor widget.

The Log Receive Monitor widget is available when FortiAnalyzer Features is enabled.

The Log Insert Lag Time widget is available when FortiAnalyzer Features is enabled.

The Log Insert Lag Time widget is hidden when the FortiAnalyzer is operating in Collector mode, and the SQL database is disabled.

Receive Rate vs Forwarding Rate

Displays the Receive Rate, which is the rate at which FortiAnalyzer is receiving logs. When log forwarding is configured, the widget also displays the log forwarding rate for each configured server. For more information, see Receive Rate vs Forwarding Rate widget.

The Receive Rate vs Forwarding Rate widget is available when FortiAnalyzer Features is enabled.

Disk I/O

Displays the disk utilization, transaction rate, or throughput as a percentage over time. For more information, see Disk I/O widget.
